I love your show but please next time give us more content. This truck racing got me really interested. I'm lusting for more content of this genre. I gave you a thumbs up!

Jan de Rooy overtook Ari Vatanen once, even won Paris-Dakar stages in the overall. Absolute full speed in the desert, on some surfaces the trucks were faster than the "cars". Back then, the trucks did over 200km/u on the sand.
